The SOTF will be launched on August 1st all over the world. We did collect the favored content creators to hold a 70-survivor massacre fest of a tournament. We were extremely successful when hosting this event!

Each battle in SotF will occur on a modified version of ARK Island with the mission of annihilating all other opponents before you get rekt. A dome-shaped forcefield will cover the map, it will shrink when the match goes on, and there will be lots of adjustments that were made for the core-game. No need to worry about the components, or the mysterious “Evolution Events” occurring every 30 minutes.
Along with the launching of the Survival of the Fittest game mode, the complete source content also has been come out so that the mode makers can explore how this game changing “Total Conversion” has been united.
